Now that the Gators have gone through their last major scrimmage of camp, the coaches are going to evaluate the players and likely come up with a depth chart soon.

“Well, we need to watch the film today, we'll watch it with the players tonight. And I told them we'll sort through the depth chart of guys we can count on moving forward and guys that need to get more reps and guys whose reps will dwindle,” Florida coach Will Muschamp said. “I mean, that's just part of it. Your tape is your resume. The guys that are producing and playing well and doing it the way we want to do it, those are the guys that'll play."

Debose getting stronger

Sixth-year senior wide receiver Andre Debose missed a few days of practice earlier in the week with swelling in his surgically repaired knee, but has returned looking quick and fast, and saying he’s not worried about his knee.

“No, not at all,” Debose said Friday. “My trainer, he tells me that it was normal for people coming off ACL that once you get back into football, you can’t really mimic what you actually do throughout the rehab. So now that I’m actually full-go, it’s a lot of stuff that I’ve got to get back used to and my knee has got to get back used to.”

Debose injured his knee early in camp a year ago and underwent season-ending ACL surgery. He was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA and is hoping to make the most of his final season in Gainesville.

After last Sunday’s scrimmage, Debose had swelling in his knee and the trainers had him take a few days off. He said it’s not a sign the knee might be a problem.

“It was precautionary,” he said. “I had some swelling, but coach Muschamp told me that he was going to be monitoring me a lot and anything that I felt concerned about he was going to take control of it and let me know just to cut myself off so I can get control over the swelling a little bit. But it wasn’t anything serious.”

Debose said he’s pretty much full speed now.

“Yeah, for the most part. Yes,” he said. “I’m just working on just a little strength in my left leg. I feel like it’s not as strong as my right leg. I’m still just working on individual muscles.”

No decision on No. 2 QB

Muschamp said the coaches are not quite ready to name a No. 2 quarterback behind junior Jeff Driskel. It appears to be a close battle between true freshmen Will Grier and Treon Harris, who have been sharing reps with the second offense.

“I think all the backup guys have had some very good moments,” Muschamp said. “They've been put into some adverse situations when you talk about a true freshman walking in. We had four or five one-minute situations where those guys have got to make great decisions, as far as getting rid of the ball, knowing when to scramble, knowing when to get out of bounds and knowing when to get rid of the ball.

“All of those things come together and you’re learning a new offense. You’ve got a lot of things going on. I’ve been pleased with those guys as far as how they’ve worked and competed. We’ll see the most productive guy and move forward.”

One of the two freshmen likely will be redshirted this season as long as Driskel and the backup (whoever that turns out to be) remain healthy.

"You'd like to. I mean, we haven't made any decisions on any of that yet, but we would like to go in and have a guy play and redshirt another guy and move forward,” Muschamp said. “But we'll see how that plays out."

Fowler returns

Buck end/linebacker Dante Fowler Jr. played in Friday’s scrimmage after being held out of Thursday’s practice with a sore shoulder.

“It was nothing big,” he said. “Hitting D.J. (Humphries), Trent (Brown), Chaz (Green), all them guys, for 14 days straight, y'all would be hurting, too."

Lots of explosives

Muschamp said he is feeling much better about the big-play capability of the wide receivers.

“Yeah, absolutely. We had a bunch today,” he said. “Ahmad (Fulwood) caught a big ball down the field, a double move outside. Chris Thompson had an explosive. Andre had an explosive. I think Demarcus (Robinson) did. I believe Quinton (Dunbar) did. I'm not positive. I think it was Quinton. Demarcus I know was on the sideline on a back-shoulder ball."

Velez, Hardin battling

Muschamp said Frankie Velez and Austin Hardin have moved ahead in the competition for the starting field goal kicker job.

“Austin Hardin and Frankie Velez have kind of distanced themselves at this point,” he said. “Those are two guys who have been pretty consistent. Frankie’s been really good. Austin has a little stronger leg, but Frankie hit one from over 50 I think yesterday or the day before. Both guys have been very consistent in camp.”

Velez was used last year for only short field goal attempts, but has improved his range, Muschamp said.

"Well, Frankie hit a 50-yarder the other day, so he's shown his range,” he said. “I think he's six of seven from 40-plus yards in team situations when it's 11-on-11, so that's good."

Sarvary to center

Reserve offensive guard/tackle Drew Sarvary is getting some snaps at center, where the No. 2 guy, Trip Thurman, has missed practice this week with an injured shoulder.

“Yeah, Drew Sarvary has been doing some things at center. We've just got to get better,” Muschamp said. “Cam (Dillard) has played some center and guard."

Thurman is expected to return to practice today.

‘Do I look big?’

Fowler was a witness to Joey Ivie trying to put on weight in the offseason when he was bulking up to make the move from end to defensive tackle.

“Joey is one of those types of guys who likes to look at himself,” said Fowler, who was Ivie’s roommate. “When he was gaining weight, he was like, ‘Do I look big or not?’ I was like, ‘I mean, you look pretty big.’ He was like, ‘So what are you saying? Am I small, am I big, am I skinny?’

“So I was like, ‘Joey, your butt is fat. You’ve got a fat butt.’ He was like, ‘Are you serious?’ I was like, ‘No, you are all right.’ Just being able for him to put on the weight, he’s carrying it really well. He’s still quick. He’s got that cat-like reflex. That helps him out a lot. Just to see how determined he is and just to see that he wants to get better, that’s great.”

Ivie, who figures to see extensive playing time this season, has gained about 15 pounds and is up to 288.
